Kim, this is really early. I'm still not 6 months out, and I still have "muscle" pain. It will take time. My physical therapist says this is not unusual at all, and to give it at least one year. He will have to keep up the activity, but know when to stop.
Hang in there. Sounds like it was a very good outcome overall!
